Noah Lyles is heading to the Paris Olympic Games after winning the US title with Kenny Bednarek and Fred Kerley joining him in punching their tickets.
World's fastest man Noah Lyles extended his dominance by winning the 100m title at the US Olympic trials, with Kenny Bednarek and Fred Kerley also securing their spots on the podium and tickets to Paris.
The world 100m champion tied his Personal Best (PB) of 9.83s for an impressive victory, finishing ahead of Bednarek, who also clocked a new PB of 9.87s as both punched their first Olympic ticket in the event.
Former world champion and reigning Olympic silver medallist Kerley proved once again why he's a championship performer and can never be written off when it matters most, taking the final spot in a new Season's Best (SB) of 9.88s to qualify for his second consecutive Olympics and return in the chat as a top challenger for a medal in Paris.

Meanwhile, Christian Coleman who had a perfect start and looked the likely winner halfway through the race couldn't hold on to the finish line, settled for an agonizing fourth position in 9.93s, thus missing out on the individual team for the first time in seven years.
Lyles who is brimming with excess confidence has now shown again why he remains the one to beat at any major championship, and he's on course to punch his ticket in the 200m as well, which will kickstart his Olympic dream of winning double sprint titles in the French city.
"I've always got weaknesses, but they're looking pretty strong right now," said Lyles in his post-race interview.
